Multimodal treatment for liver abscess caused by fish bone migration: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A 77-year-old man with diabetes developed a fever the day after eating black porgy and was admitted to a nearby hospital. Computed tomography revealed an ~3-cm fish bone that had migrated from the duodenum into the liver, with a surrounding liver abscess. His symptoms did not improve with antibiotic treatment, and he was referred to our hospital on Day 3. Gastroduodenoscopy did not identify the fish bone within the duodenal lumen. Although the antibiotic regimen was changed, his fever persisted and his condition worsened. On hospital Day 7, percutaneous transhepatic abscess drainage was performed, after which the inflammatory response and his condition gradually improved. Laparoscopic removal of the fish bone was performed on hospital day 15. The fish bone was identified within the liver, adjacent to the duodenal bulb, and was removed smoothly. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful.
